Our plan for a month full of outdoor play {parenting challenge}

At the beginning of the year, I have started a parenting challenge to help me build a better relationship with my child, a choice that I am very glad about! I really enjoy it and I feel that following these monthly challenges allows me to focus more on my child and to do a lot of wonderful activities with him.

We already had 5 amazing months of our challenge, when we focused on: connection time, arts and crafts activities, books and stories, music and dance and nature activities.

This month will be dedicated to outdoor play and I can’t wait to try a lot of fun activities with Bogdan!

Before sharing our plan for this month, I will share with you last month’s report to see how much of our last plan we managed to accomplish.

My report for May: How the “Nature activities” month went for us

Last month we focused on different nature activities and Bogdan liked this a lot! We had our list of nature activities that provided us with a lot of inspiration and we had the chance to do many nice things together!

We also had two snails that were our “guests” for one week and Bogdan was very glad to take care of them. He learned to feed them and to be responsible for them.

And this was a great lesson for him!

I was a little bit worried that he will have a difficult time when returning the snails but it wasn’t the case! He was happy to find a nice place for them to return to nature! We read some books about flowers and leaves at the library.

We were able to stick to most of the plan, with two exceptions. First, we haven’t visited a natural park this month. Instead, we went on a road trip to Los Angeles and we enjoyed the nature along the Pacific Coast.

We also visited the Natural History Museum in Santa Barbara, which gave us a perfect opportunity to learn new things!

Also, we haven’t started a garden on our terrace yet. I hope to be able to do this soon. Now we only have some basil but I plan to buy some more plants and seeds.

My plan for June: The “Outdoor play” month of our parenting challenge

The plan for this month is a little bit different. I want to allow us to have a lot of freedom in choosing our schedule.

We expect Bogdan’s grandparents to visit us for two weeks, so we really don’t know how our schedule will look like this month. What I do know is that I want us to have a lot of fun!

And outdoor activities are a perfect way to do this!

My goal for this month is for us to spend at least 2-3 hours a day playing outside every day. As preschool ended and we spend the whole day together now, this should be easy!

[…] time, arts and crafts activities, books and stories, music and dance, nature activities, outdoor play, and geography activities. This month will be dedicated to practical life activities and this is […]
